Premier League 2021/2022

City, Chelsea and Liverpool has to be top 3, lets see who takes 4th.

City dominated both Liverpool and Chelsea away this season, but dropped the most points so far vs the rest of the pack.

I agree. But are they now getting into gear? To beat Villa away is tough with Gerrard there, and they left several key players behind in Manchester and still won.

That will be almost as interesting as who gets 1st.

yeah liverpool back to 19/20 form but i wouldnt underrate city and chelsea, will be a very exciting title run. In cl also luck plays a big role, liverpool and bayern favourites tough.

In CL Pep has the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Liverpool seems to have changed so much the way they play since 2018-20, when they cared not to concede and then win.
Now they go all out to outscore the opponent, and that shows in their record-breaking 'xG for' so far.
At the same time, they are more vulnerable at the back than what they were in 18-20

On the contrary, City have completed the opposite trajectory: in 2017-19 they were all about attack and outscoring opponents.
That approach hit its limit with a disappointing 2019/20 season, but since last season the tune is changed:
they first make sure the opponent does not threaten them, and then by controlling the game they hope to find some way to score a goal
That shows in their record-breaking 'xG against' number, already since last season, and continuing this season.

Usually the attacking team wins the league, and the defending team wins cups (CL).
Let's see what will happen.

But what a reversal of roles!

City is practising for the CL. They don't want to leak goals anymore by playing too naive.

They are playing CL winning football.

Interesting point. I hope you are right.

Liverpool were better in the second half but breathed a sigh of relief at the final whistle. City left the pitch disappointed. Silva ran rings around them. VVD was glad to go home.

Salah ran rings around them. Dias and Laporte were glad to go home

 

[Mateka]

Great goal by Salah. But Liverpool only draw at home.

If you just look at stats, Man City and Liverpool are a level above Chelsea in terms of shots per game, possession, average position, shots faced. But the table shows they are similiar level.

Someone watching United-Arsenal?

Comical 8 minutes in midfield so far Both teams can't string together three passes.

 

[serghei]

Lol.

 

[messi2140]

Fred accidentally tackles his own GK and they concede a goal because De Gea was laying on the ground.

 

[mc_lovin]

Brilliant goal

 

[CatalinR10]

Arsenal leading away at United. Just lol.
